Wow that's as good of deal as the bomber of yeti imperial oak stout for $4.99 i picked up today.

 

Where are you headed to in Florida, mouse town?

 

Leinenkugel big butt doppelbock. It's ok. I've always drank actual German brewery styles like paulaner and what not so.. This is a good try but not horrible but wouldn't purchase again

I always thought the expression was colder than a witches tit but I like yours better

 

How do you know she's not a witch?

 

I thought the saying was "witchier than a well diggers titty."

 

I live in memphis tennessee and it's fing 13 degrees right now

 

Have not posted in a long time. Don't worry, I'm still drinking my share haha. Tried this tonight. Wow!! It's like sticking a skunks ass in my mouth. Geez!! Super dank/ skunky. Not sure if it's due to the lager or hops or both.

Victory Double IPA. Nothing like it. Love the fruity hop character! Capping off an awesome homebrew club meeting and an unfortunate Pittsburgh Penguins loss!

Drinking my own recipe. Makers 46 stave aged light ale. Nice sour wood aged flavor that i didn't intend. Also intended a bourbon flavor that didn't come through. I like it like crazy though. I'll have to try to replicate this one.

A toast to my Aunt Jo. God bless her. And @Billy-Klubb, a birthday?! Happy one to ya and cheers! I've probably missed a chunk in the last 24 hours...

I'm toasting tonight with a Pumpkin Stout supplied by @Hello...thanks! The color is great and the pumpkin really comes through in aroma, flavor and body. Not a lot of spice, but I prefer it that way. Very nice! I think it's going to be a one and done kind of night for me.

 

Meh... Not as delicious as advertised. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1420692074.303129.jpg

 

A mistake recipe. Went to the lhbs and forgot the written recipe i developed for an Irish red pale hybrid i developed so i tried to remember but failed. Turned out good but bought 2lbs too much grain lol. A little strong, might be drunk tonight lol. Poor pic doesn't catch the red x malt color.

No mouse this time.
We're headed to the geriatric capital, Naples. It's 3 degrees here and 72 there, so there's that.

H2O.

 

Alpha Centauri IIPA

It's a hop bomb.

thanks, but it seemed like there was more important things going on. and I really don't celebrate my B-Day.


more quaffii on the home front.

 

My condolences Matt. Hopefully she was at peace in the end.

Happy (belated) Birthday @Billy-Klubb - eating cake is celebrating in my book!

What a night. After making an early den I took my son and his best friend to a Boy Scout meeting in the Troop they will cross over to. I thought the Webelos meetings were a bit of organized chaos, but wow. I realize the adults step back once they reach scout level, but it was hard biting my tongue and sitting on my hands to not smack some heads around. Fun part was all the planning for this weekends campout. When it will be 23 during the day and 15 at night (and who knows what the wind chill will be.) This is going to be a long, cold stretch without beer

Then we get home and my son decides to play Spiderman on the shower curtain and pulls it out of the wall, so now I have that to fix today ... grrrrr ....

 

Quaffin' it here this morning too. Just keep trying to make life a bit more of a party ain't such a bad thing...once a year.

 

The coff. Didnt win any money last night, I should have played poker. Maybe I will hit up another group of friends to rob this weekend.

 

haha I'll have to pass.

It actually is but I had to take dog outside and with the wind, well it was felt immediately.


Coffee, water, protein shake.

@Billy-Klubb I think I missed the birthday posts so Happy Birthday man!
@mattmmille I hope you liked it. I find that it is kind of oddly balanced. It is not a pumpkin bomb, which isn't a bad thing. I think some got a tad more vanilla but I love vanilla so that usually comes through a lot in any beer I add vanilla to.
I hope you are doing as okay as you can. Try not to fill yourself with regrets about seeing her more often. Think of the times you did and smile about that.

 

So I have to file a home warranty claim for my garage door as it doesn't close when it is 40F or below. I have to hold the button inside the garage until it is totally closed. a PITA if you ask me.

This is what happens when I am asked to provide a detailed description of the problem. haha

 

Heres what i woukd put for detailed description. "POS".

 

The adults stepping back is a huge part of Scouts. It wasn't until my friend and I took a leadership training course and came back ready to run it, that our adults realized. They do need to be there in case things get out of hand and too far off track though. I wouldn't trade scouting for anything. I had some of the best and worst times of my life.

I think our thermometer is broken, it says 0*F.

Coffee. Ready for the weekend.

 

Large mug of coffee this morning of -25F. Just about everything is closed today. Supposed to be in the teens through Saturday. It's so cold the heater & kerosine heater nearly can't keep up!

 

Did you ever make it out to philmont?

 

Ha, yeah. Wife had me check the closings & temp. I said there ain't any! It was zero with wind chill.

 

No, man...that is one of the only things I never got to experience. We couldn't afford some of the bigger things in our small troop. I think Iowa, for a NOAC was the furthest west we ever traveled.
